Creating a spectrometer to use with a #RaspberryPi
Bob LeSuer has created something which I’m dying to add to the Picorder. It’s a spectrometer. A spectrometer is (according to Wikipedia): an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used…
Create your own animation studio with a #RaspberryPi – brilliant blog post!
This is an outstanding piece of work by Trevor Appleton. He has converted his Raspberry Pi into an animation studio by writing a piece of software (with a GUI) to take pictures with the camera module and then to string…
Use a piezo buzzer to create sound with the #RaspberryPi GPIO
Ben Miller has written a great beginners’ article about hooking up a small piezo buzzer to the Pi’s GPIO pins to simply create a sound. He’s using C to do it, which is a shame as I think Python would…
Use the #RaspberryPi as a syslog server
Muhammad Furqan has written an in-depth piece on intenseschool.com about using the Pi to record syslog messages sent from multiple network devices. Read more here
Use the PiGlow on the #RaspberryPi with RISCOS
Leo White has been working on getting the Pimoroni PiGlow working with RISCOS. He’s managed it and has posted the BASIC code up so that everyone can do it! This opens up a whole world of opportunity for RISCOS on…
LED light sunrise clock with a #RaspberryPi
Hacker Ed Dawson has used an addressable strip of LED lights and some circuitry to create a sunrise clock. He’s done a complete write-up on reproducing his project. This is especially impressive because until the creation of some Python drivers…
Get the CPU and GPU temperatures of the #RaspberryPi in Python
Nice little bit of Python from the ‘piman’. He’s written two functions to get the core system temperatures. Read how to do it
Use Wolfram Mathematica to do more on your #RaspberryPi than you thought possible
And I thought that Mathematica was only for doing maths on the Pi. Boy was I wrong! The Foundation have just published a great article linking to several examples that show Mathematica doing some cool stuff over the GPIO. Read…
Python tips – useful for owners of the #RaspberryPi
Francois Dion has decided to publish regular quick tips for Python on his blog. Not much more to say really – read his blog here. I recommend subscribing to his RSS feed.
